7 Gorgeous Holiday Tablescape Ideas

My favorite thing about ANY holiday is the food! Well, not just the food, but sharing meal time ona well-appointed table eating familiar dishes with the people you love... that's my favorite thing about the holidays.

In my family, we get together on Christmas Eve and make TONS of tamales! We have a delicious Mexican soup called "pozole" and warmed Mexican Christmas punch made with fresh fruit... yum.

ANYWAY, WELCOME! You're probably coming over from Joan's blog at "2 Ladies & A Chair" where you saw her fabulous and festive holiday table. SUCH A FUN TABLESCAPE, RIGHT?! Well, Thanks for clicking over here! This lil' blog hop is showcasing 7 gorgeous holiday tables decorated by a few of your favorite home decor bloggers. I hope you are able to pick up some ideas for you to incorporate in your home. I will add links to the other tablescapes at the end of this post so you can check them out.

For my tablescape, I was inspired by the colors that I used throughout my home this holiday season. If you have been a loyal reader, then you probably remember that I used burgundy and black on my tree and in my living room. If you missed that post, you can view my holiday home tour HERE.

My tablescape is pretty simple and straightforward. It started with these cool plaid plates I found at HomeGoods for $3.99 each. Nice, right? They also don't SCREAM "I'm a Christmas plate!" so I can use them throughout the year for other occasions.

After that, my goal was to find a coordinating tablecloth and I wasn't having much luck until I ran into this cool striped fabric at IKEA! I purchased two yards which cost me 10 bucks! Score!

I added some garland (Trader Joe's $6) down the center of my table and embellished it with a few pomegranates and dollar store gift boxes! BAM! I have a runner!

For my "place cards" I used branches that I got for free at my local tree lot and tied ornaments to the branch and wrote the person's name on the ornament with my somewhat decent handwriting! Voila'! I made a place card that also doubles as a keepsake! Now, every time that person looks at that ornament they will remember the fun time we had during our Christmas dinner, and what a fantastic host I was! ;)

Oscar, To say that I am BLOWN away by your tablescape is to under estimate how much I love this. I feel like the little kid who answers his mom when she asks "how much do I love you???" and the little kids opens his arms as wide as he can and says "THIIIISSSSSS much!!!!" Ok, that's me! :)

Oscar I love this all! Not sure where to begin...the table cloth is brilliant!! I will in the future be looking at bolts of fabric. Your plates set the mood perfectly! The simplicity of the pomegranates is the perfect touch. You always inspire! Merry Christmas!....I want some tamales :)

OMG Oscar this is simply stunning!! I love how you can make black and white plaid look Christmasy! I adore your color scheme so bold and elegant! and brilliant idea to write names on the ornaments for a place holder!! LOVE!!

Oscar, you are truly an inspiration to me! Not only is this tablescape amazing my friend, but your photographs of it are gorgeous!!! Magazine-worthy! I've been pinning some of them to use for inspo next year, as I love the pop of red, the ornaments as place cards, and especially, those plaid plates!

Jodie and I are AMAZED! Yikes! We love how you achieved an incredible designer look all while keeping a steady eye on your budget. Impressive for sure. Love how you chose plates that don't scream "I'm a Christmas plate!" haha! Excellent. I'm practical too and love items that aren't pigeon-holed to holiday use only. Bravo, Mr. Bravo! Sorry, couldn't resist! XO and happy holidays, Julie
